What’s next for Paul George?

George is coming off an excellent season in his first year with the Thunder where he averaged 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and two steals while earning his fifth career All-Star bid. He is expected to opt out of the final year of his current contract worth $20.7 million to seek a lucrative long-term deal.

Whether that will be in Oklahoma City or elsewhere is unknown. George has been linked to having interests in playing in Los Angeles for much of his career, and the Thunder are coming off a painful, disappointing first-round playoff exit via the Utah Jazz.
